Feng Yong Rui felt proud of Xiao Fang when he heard her reasoning. If she only thought about that stupid lad Lin Jian, he certainly wouldn"t allow her to go even if she begged pitifully. Those two"s feelings were so obvious from the outsiders" point of view, so how could it escape Feng Yong Rui"s keen eyes? However, he didn"t want his daughter to be blinded by a man --- any man, not only Lin Jian.
He wasn"t that biased to pick on Lin Jian, after all, the kid was pretty good. Fortunately, it seemed like his daughter wasn"t that stupid or obsessed.
Even Qi Hao was looking at Xiao Fang in awe because of her inspiring answer... He asked, "Are you really my sister? You aren"t a ghost who posses my sister right? Or... did you copy your words from somewhere so that you will look like that you are so wise?" He blinked innocently at Xiao Fang who was actually being serious for once!
Xiao Fang pouted at Qi Hao when she heard his sarcastic questions and pinch his waist in annoyance which made Qi Hao yelped in pain for a return. "What are you talking about? Who are you saying being possessed by a ghost, huh? Do you want me to beat you up?" Xiao Fang asked in vexation.
Because she only had this one brother while growing up, when she was a little girl and hadn"t learned the four arts, she was actually a tomboy. They used to fight with each other which always made Feng Yong Rui feel a headache. Apparently, he used to call Xiao Fang as "Little Monkey" due to her naughty behavior.
Qi Hao merely laughed and tried to appease her, "Just kidding... I"m just kidding!" He was too shocked just now so he talked mindlessly.
Feng Yong Rui loved seeing the interaction between the two of them. Then, he asked once again, "Really...? Are you sure that those were the only reasons?" He squinted his eyes in disbelief.
Xiao Fang was taken aback by her father"s sudden question, she asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Father? What else do you think I want to do?" She honestly didn"t understand what her father was talking about.
Feng Yong Rui was speechless. He didn"t know whether his daughter was pretending to be gullible or not. He sighed and gave a little clue, "What about that young man... who is he called again? Lin Jian?" He pretended to forget about the latter"s name, showing how petty he was towards his daughter"s future lover.
"Er... what about him?" Xiao Fang looked down and blushed furiously. Why did her father suddenly call out his name? Did he know something or...? No... No... No... she thought that she had covered up her feelings really well ah~!
Even though she also didn"t want to separate from Lin Jian, it was only a small part of her thought and wasn"t the main trigger that made her decide such a bold decision. But still... it was part of her reasoning.
Feng Yong Rui asked bluntly while rolling his eyes, "Do you like him?"
He didn"t like to see her daughter being so shy when she thought of that boy, but he was also young once, he naturally had experienced those feelings as well. Thus, he could only swallow his grievance. At the very least, he wanted her to be happy.
"Father... what are you talking about? I... I..." She didn"t know what to say as well! How could she openly admit her feelings to her father?! It would be too embarra.s.sing ah~! However, she also didn"t want to lie to him.
"You... You... What?" Qi Hao asked, wanting to know how she would answer this question. "Ah... She really has grown up..." Qi Hao thought to himself in disappointment because he still wanted her to rely on him for a few more years, but she had grown her wings and he couldn"t stop her.
Feng Yong Rui said, "Just tell us the truth!" He was too lazy to talk in a roundabout way, the sooner they cleared up this matter, the better it would be.
Xiao Fang had no choice but answered him with the truth. Her father"s imposing gaze was too scary, besides, she rarely lied to her father and would feel uncomfortable to do so. Not only that, but she also realized that this matter seemed to be important for her father.
She answered with a really small voice, "I... I like him... Father." Xiao Fang finally admitted shyly. Her face turned even redder while her heart was beating faster, somehow she also felt a bit elated because she could tell other people her real feeling.
"And, what about your future plan regarding him?" Feng Yong Rui asked curiously.
"Hmmm... Future plan? What kind of future plan?" Xiao Fang asked in confusion once again, after all, she had never thought that far. She didn"t really understand what her father was talking about ah~!
"No plan is a good sign," Feng Yong Rui murmured to himself, at least, it meant his daughter was still pure and innocent just like how she used to be. It improved Lin Jian"s score in his eyes because he didn"t try to use any seductive method so far or lead his daughter astray.
If he knew that Lin Jian was still a "virgin", he would be even happier ah~! After all, it was rare for a man to stay pure at around their age.
Feng Yong Rui looked at Xiao Fang intensely, feeling whether it was a good time to do the "talk" with her. He shuddered when he realized that he had to do this, but he had no other choice ah~! His wife couldn"t do this because of her condition.
He pondered over it for a little while before he finally said, "Xiao Fang, if I allow you to go along with them to the Shu Kingdom, would you do a stupid thing?"
"What kind of stupid thing, Father?" Xiao Fang asked in a surprise.
"For example, giving yourself to him in advance?" He asked bluntly, even Qi Hao also looked at him with wide eyes.
Feng Yong Rui wasn"t a woman and it was awkward for him to talk about this matter with his daughter. If it was his wife, she would probably say it in a gentler way and not as direct as this. However, in Feng Yong Rui"s mind, this was the best thing that he could do ah~! He could only flinch at his own words...
After all, where would they find another father who would talk about this matter with his daughter? Even Qi Hao was feeling embarra.s.sed... although he tried to maintain his appearance, his red ears gave him away ah~! This was what Feng Yong Rui aimed at --- he didn"t want to feel embarra.s.sed all alone, thus, Qi Hao should also experience the same embarra.s.sment as him.
They were family, right?
A family should share the good things and the bad things together.
His mouth was slightly twitched. "Father... if you want to talk about this kind of thing... why don"t you choose another time? When there is no "me" around ah~! I"m not married as well!" Qi Hao thought to himself --- he really didn"t know whether he should laugh or cry, thus, he could only freeze on the spot.
"Gi... Giving myself to him?" Xiao Fang was dumbfounded... Was this the legendary "talk"? She whined inwardly, "Father! Should you be the one who asks and tells me all of this? This makes me feel so weird ah ~!"
